Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Michael Frandina and the Askman Law Firm to anyone looking for an attorney. They were thorough, diligent, and professional; handling my case in a timely manner.

Highly Recommend

We (Tersus Solutions) have worked with Michael Frandina at Askman Law Firm for over 3 years now and couldn't be happier with the work product or the relationship. Michael is a diligent, practical, and responsive lawyer and has been able to provide us counsel across multiple dimensions of our business.... Our whole leadership team leans on him for various legal issues and we all think highly of him. I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone in the Denver area looking for a dynamic and fairly priced law firm.

Fantastic attorney

I worked with Michael for close to 10 years. He was great and provided a lot of value helping us follow up with customers on contracts and protecting IP. I would highly recommend Michael and would work with him again should the situation arise.

Excellent Legal Counsel

Michael Frandina represented us in a matter involving potential litigation. In all of our dealings with Michael we found him to be very knowledgeable about specific law pertaining to our situation and throughout the negotiations he kept us well informed and was very good at explaining our options. Th...e final outcome was a satisfactory settlement without having to resort to litigation which we attribute to Michael being a strong advocate for his clients and an extremely effective negotiator. Michael provided us with high quality and very cost effective representation and we would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Great Lawyer in Denver!

Michael M. Frandina, Esq. of the Askman Law Firm is a great lawyer in Denver. I recommend him wholeheartedly. As a practicing New York attorney I was seeking to find and retain a good lawyer in Denver, Colorado. I found a great lawyer in Michael Frandina through a Google Search on AVVO for a l...egal research project involving old state and federal archival records in the Denver Courts from over 100 years ago (circa 1916). He replied to my inquiry quickly, we discussed the project and I sent him copies of the meager yet intriguing baseline detail I had available involving alleged securities fraud and embezzlement case pre-SEC involving a large family brokerage firm with offices in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. He immediately and fully understood the purpose and scope of the project and tasks required. Michael produced and delivered clear copies of the legal records that we only hoped could be found after 100 years. Michael found them. He regularly reported his progress and was always available to discuss the next steps. Billing was fair, detailed and very reasonable. His work was thorough and performed in a highly professional manner. Highly recommended

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
